Fallieres, the French President, speaks of the Elysee, the residence of the Presidents, as a school of ingratitude.

The one who had drawn the revolver chased him, but the refugee darted into a cafe. The infuriated assailant followed, and fired six shots at random. The people in the cafe were thrown into a panic, and dived for shelter under the chairs and tables. The landlord plnckily tackled the intruder, but was shot* dead, while several of the customers who were hiding under the tables were wounded. The murderer then decamped, but was immediately followed by the enraged customers and a large crowd which had been attracted by the shots.
